About Trident Grand Residence
Trident Grand Residence is a 45-storey residential tower in Dubai Marina, developed by Trident International Holdings. Construction was completed in May 2010, making it one of the earlier towers in the Marina's skyline. The building holds a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom penthouses.
Sources conflict on the tower's exact unit count, with figures ranging from 212 to roughly 253 across different property listings. Rather than asserting one figure as fact, this guide describes the total as roughly 200 to 250 apartments and penthouses.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Trident Grand Residence sits within Dubai Marina, within walking distance of Marina Walk's waterfront restaurants and cafes and the Marina's tram and metro links. JBR's beach and The Walk are also a short distance away, giving residents and short-term guests easy access to both the Marina's dining scene and JBR's beachfront. Owners comparing buildings across the wider area can also read Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Marina for area-level context beyond this one tower.
Other Dubai Marina towers sit within the same stretch of the waterfront, including Studio One Hotel, Marina Gate and DAMAC Heights, all within easy walking distance along the Marina promenade.
Unit Types
Trident Grand Residence's roughly 200 to 250 units span one, two and three-bedroom apartments plus four-bedroom penthouses. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed an exact per-configuration unit breakdown for this pass, so this guide describes the overall mix as reported rather than presenting an invented count as fact. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a building-specific amenities list for Trident Grand Residence in this pass. As with most Dubai Marina towers of a similar age, residents and short-term guests can generally expect a shared pool and gym and covered parking, but owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management rather than assuming a standard set applies.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Marina is served by the Dubai Tram, which connects along the Marina/JBR corridor to the Dubai Metro Red Line via interchange stations, and Sheikh Zayed Road sits close by for road access toward Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and the wider city. Royale Stays has not confirmed an exact walking distance from Trident Grand Residence specifically to the nearest tram stop in this pass.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed long-term lease rents or service charges specific to Trident Grand Residence from a citable market report in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here. At the area level, Dubai Marina's short-term rental market shows a managed one-bedroom apartment at roughly 78 per cent annual occupancy generating AED 120,000 to 165,000 gross per year, based on Royale Stays' own Dubai Marina income data. Owners can also run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Trident Grand Residence, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Trident Grand Residence would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Short-term rental demand in this building is not purely theoretical: a listing on Agoda for "Trident Grand Residence by Deluxe Holiday Homes" shows that at least one competing operator already manages short-term units in the tower. Royale Stays does not currently have Trident Grand Residence-specific booking data of its own to draw on, so the annual revenue range set out in the section above reflects our wider Dubai Marina portfolio rather than a claim about this particular building's nightly rate or occupancy.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Trident Grand Residence, the practical starting points are the same as anywhere else in Dubai Marina: confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit competitively against comparable Marina listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, and our guide to what separates a strong Airbnb management company from a weak one sets out what to look for when comparing operators. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
